SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
YOUR HITACHI PLASMA TELEVISION
Our reputation has been built on the quality,
performance, and ease of service of HITACHI plasma
televisions.
Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of
these units. To help you operate these products
properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be
of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the
knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operation of
your HITACHI plasma television.
Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to
HITACHI. This will enable HITACHI to notify you
promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem
should be discovered in your product model.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on
this plasma television.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a
person.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this
plasma television.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
2
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15.Televisions are designed to comply with the
recommended safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or
top, of the cabinet which could cause the product
to overturn resulting in product damage and/or
personal injury.
16.Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling
mounting as recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding for the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-44 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.

Important Safety Instructions
Power source
This plasma television is designed to operate on 120
volts 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the power cord into a
120 volt 60 Hz outlet. The mains plug is used as the
disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the plasma
television’s (polarized) plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades and
ground terminal can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
Never connect the plasma television to 50 Hz, direct
current, or anything other than the specified voltage.
Caution
Never remove the back cover of the
plasma television as this can expose you
to very high voltages and other hazards. If
the television does not operate properly,
unplug the plasma television and call your authorized
dealer or service center.
Caution
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the
instructions, as improper changes or modifications not
expressly approved by HITACHI could void the user’s
warranty.
Warning
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
• The plasma television should not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should not be placed on the
television.
• This apparatus shall be connected to a mains
socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Continuous on-screen displays such as video games,
stock market quotations, computer generated graphics,
and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can be
permanently imprinted onto your TV screen. Such
“SCREEN DAMAGES” constitute misuse and are NOTCOVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.
If still images are left on the screen for more than 2.5
minutes, protection function will work automatically so that
contrast reduces to minimize image retention on plasma
display panel.
Please note that this is not a malfunction but it helps to
minimize image retention.
The original contrast will restore after moving images are
displayed for about 6 minutes. Original contrast can be
restored quickly by turning power On/Off with remote
control or power switch on unit.

VIEWING
T
he best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of
the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.
During daylight hours, reflections from outside light
may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens
can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can
be located in a different section of the room.
If the TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi
system’s external speakers, the best audio
performance will be obtained by placing the
speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver
cabinet and as close as possible to the height of
the picture screen center. For best stereo
separation, place the external speakers at least
four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround
speakers to the side or behind the viewing area.
Differences in room sizes and acoustical
environments will require some experimentation
with speaker placement for best performance.

CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH HDMI OR
DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1, HDMI 2 OR HDMI FRONT
1. Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection
cable from the output of the HDTV set top box
or DVD player to the HDMI input as shown
on the Rear panel below.
2. With DVI output, connect the cable from the
AUDIO OUT R of the HDTV set top box or DVD
player to the INPUT (AUDIO/R) jack as shown on
the Rear Panel below.
3. With DVI output, connect the cable from the
AUDIO OUT L of the HDTV set top box or DVD
player to the INPUT (AUDIO/L) jack as shown
on the Rear Panel below.
4. Press the INPUTS button, then select HDMI 1, 2
or FRONT to view the program from the HDTV
SET TOP BOX or DVD player.
5. Select CABLE or AIR from the INPUTS menu to
return to the last channel viewed.
HDMI input
NOTE: 1
. Completely insert the connection cord
plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks.
The picture and sound that is played back
will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
2. The HDMI input on HDMI 1 , 2 and FRONT
contains the copy protection system called
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system
that encrypts video signals when using
HDMI connections to prevent illegal
copying of video contents.
3. HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It
establishes a one-way point-to-point
connection for delivery of uncompressed
video to a display.
4.
The connected digital output device
controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up
of device user settings determines final
video appearance.
5. When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the
Audio Out L and R cables at the same INPUT
(1 , 2 or Front) as your HDMI INPUT(1 , 2 or Front).
(For FRONT INPUT see page 16 for reference).

Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve
reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without
using multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special
antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio
receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:
- Keep the television away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.
BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is
usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be
necessary to upgrade your antenna.

51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permited to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this lincense document, but changing is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all
its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and
charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code
or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
free or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get
the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this
free software. If the software is modified by someone else and
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear
that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
License Agreements
be distributed under the terms of this General Public Lince
The "Program", below, re fe rs to any such program or work,
and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program
or any deri vative wor k und er copyright la w: th at is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
nse.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act
of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you recei ve it, in any medium, prov ided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, pro vided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a)
You mus t ca us e the modified files to car ry prominent
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If th e mo d i f ied p rogr a m no r mall y re a d s c o m m ands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.
But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for
other licenses extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and
every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rathe r, the intent is
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
182
Page 94
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)
on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of
the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c) Accomp any it with the informati on you received as to
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
and only if you received the program in object code
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making PRGL¿FDWLRQVto it. For an executable work, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
plus any associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ¿OHVplus the scripts used
to control compilation and installation of the executable. However,
as a special exception, the source code distributed need not
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless
that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify
or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions
are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on
the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be torefrain entirely from
distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held
invalid or unenforceable underany particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended toapply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a license
cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program VSHFL¿HVa version number of this License which applies
to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the
terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and
reuse of software generally.

This Gen eral Publ ic License does no t permit in corpo rating
your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you
want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead
of this License.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source ¿le to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at
least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found.
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version
2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
wa r r a nty o f MERCH A N TA B I LITY o r FI T N E SS FO R A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public
License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public
License along with this program; if not, write to the Free
Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston,
MA 02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course,
the commands you use may be called something other than `show
w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items-whatever suits your program.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999
[This is the ¿UVW released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all
its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of
the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to
use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you ¿UVW think carefully
about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License
is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom
of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to
make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive
source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the
software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you
are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities
for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we
gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get
the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must
provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can
relink them with the library after making changes to the library and
recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright
the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modi¿ed by someone else and passed on, the recipients should
know that what they have is not the original version, so that the
original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that
might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence
of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company
cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining
a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU
Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated
libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public
License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit
linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically
or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally
speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The
ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking
only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The
Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking
other code with the library.
We call this licen se the "Le sser" Gene ral P ublic Lice nse
because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free
software developers Less of an advantage over competing nonfree programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the
ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However,
the Les ser licen se provides advantag es in cer tai n special
circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs
must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a
In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in nonfree programs enables a greater number of people to use a large
body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use
the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/
Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of
the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that
is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or
other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this
License"). Each license is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on
the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with PRGL¿FDWLRQV and/or translated
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making PRGL¿FDWLRQV to it. For a library, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ¿OHV plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output
from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library
in a tool for writing LW Whether that is true depends on what the
Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with
the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
EYou must caus e the files modifie d to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the ¿OHV and the date of
any change.
FYou must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
GIf a facility in the PRGL¿HG Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when
the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith
effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-de¿Qed independent
of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that
any application-supplied function or table used by this
function must be optional: if the application does not supply
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
GHQWL¿DEOHsections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole
must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licenses extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every
License Agreements
part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the LibraU\ on
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General
Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the
Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this
License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version
than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has
Do not make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to
all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the terms
of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement
to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled
or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such
a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because
it contains portions of the Library, rather than a "work that uses
the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header
¿OH that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be
a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is
not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can
be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The

your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the

royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software
that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by
permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under
the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
License Agreements
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source ¿le to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each ¿OH should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
notice is found.
